10 00:03:20.870 ⇒ 00:03:24.889 Casie Aviles: Cool, I’ll just share my screen, so I guess…
11 00:03:25.170 ⇒ 00:03:27.499 Casie Aviles: Now that we’re all here,
12 00:03:28.100 ⇒ 00:03:31.309 Casie Aviles: I guess the agenda is just going to be, keeping…
13 00:03:31.490 ⇒ 00:03:36.990 Casie Aviles: Or, like, aligning on what we ought to deliver for this week, priorities and assignees.
14 00:03:37.780 ⇒ 00:03:39.330 Casie Aviles: For the tickets.
15 00:03:40.720 ⇒ 00:03:44.080 Pranav Narahari: Quick, sorry, just to, like… update, and…
16 00:03:44.470 ⇒ 00:03:44.830 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.
17 00:03:44.830 ⇒ 00:03:53.749 Pranav Narahari: Maybe it’ll change, like, maybe we’d want to reschedule this call, is, I don’t know if y’all saw the forwarded message that I put into…
18 00:03:54.060 ⇒ 00:03:56.759 Pranav Narahari: the channel this morning, like a…
19 00:03:57.220 ⇒ 00:03:59.559 Pranav Narahari: A few, like, maybe an hour ago, or whatever.
20 00:04:00.170 ⇒ 00:04:01.689 Casie Aviles: But, yeah.
21 00:04:02.250 ⇒ 00:04:15.279 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, so, based on the call that I had with Bobby and Zach on Friday, is that they’ve essentially… like, Bobby and Zach have kind of, like, recognized that they’ve been giving us a lot of ad hoc work.
22 00:04:15.460 ⇒ 00:04:21.380 Pranav Narahari: And it’s… been kind of… like, we’ve been actually, like, pushing really hard for them, and…
23 00:04:21.550 ⇒ 00:04:25.199 Pranav Narahari: Making a lot of good progress, but the issue is, like.
24 00:04:25.550 ⇒ 00:04:40.320 Pranav Narahari: you know, with every ad hoc thing, like, it’s coming at the expense of, like, some of the other stuff, and it just feels like things are just all over the place a little bit. That’s what they said. And they said it’s, like, on them, basically, not on us at all.
25 00:04:40.540 ⇒ 00:04:43.180 Pranav Narahari: And so what they did over the weekend was give us, like.
26 00:04:43.420 ⇒ 00:04:50.500 Pranav Narahari: this more refined, like, roadmap for, like, what are the priorities for right now to get completed, and
27 00:04:51.400 ⇒ 00:04:55.360 Pranav Narahari: it’s a little bit different than what we have in the Gantt chart currently, so…
28 00:04:55.580 ⇒ 00:04:56.550 Casie Aviles: I see.
29 00:04:56.550 ⇒ 00:04:58.859 Pranav Narahari: It’s not, like, that much different, but it’s like…
30 00:04:58.860 ⇒ 00:04:59.689 Samuel Roberts: Sure, sure.
31 00:04:59.690 ⇒ 00:05:07.970 Pranav Narahari: It’s a little bit different. So, I think what we need to do is probably just, like, pivot a little bit in terms of what’s in the backlog, and
32 00:05:09.140 ⇒ 00:05:11.440 Pranav Narahari: Just, focus on these things right now.
33 00:05:12.150 ⇒ 00:05:12.800 Samuel Roberts: Okay.
34 00:05:14.330 ⇒ 00:05:16.520 Samuel Roberts: What do we got here? Okay.
35 00:05:20.100 ⇒ 00:05:22.390 Samuel Roberts: Okay, yeah, I saw they really want airbite, huh?
36 00:05:23.460 ⇒ 00:05:29.790 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, that’s another thing, too, so… Probably… Doing a…
37 00:05:30.730 ⇒ 00:05:36.400 Pranav Narahari: just a test with AirByte, I guess, with, I think AirByte’s probably working fine now.
38 00:05:36.670 ⇒ 00:05:37.600 Pranav Narahari: I kind of, like…
39 00:05:37.830 ⇒ 00:05:38.420 Samuel Roberts: that, yeah.
40 00:05:38.450 ⇒ 00:05:40.210 Pranav Narahari: Getting messages from, like.
41 00:05:40.340 ⇒ 00:05:45.449 Pranav Narahari: the Mother Duck team saying, like, okay, they pushed the chain, like, they pushed the updates.
42 00:05:47.200 ⇒ 00:05:50.939 Pranav Narahari: But I was already, like, getting things working in Polytomic, so I kind of just, like…
43 00:05:50.940 ⇒ 00:05:51.830 Samuel Roberts: Right, right.
44 00:05:51.830 ⇒ 00:05:55.490 Pranav Narahari: Not even go back to look into that, so…
45 00:05:55.790 ⇒ 00:05:58.230 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, I mean, if they are, you know…
46 00:05:58.400 ⇒ 00:06:00.749 Pranav Narahari: married to AirByte, like, we can…
47 00:06:01.300 ⇒ 00:06:11.529 Pranav Narahari: And if, like, we can get it to work there, then I see no issue with that, especially if, like, you know, makes it easier for us, you know, we don’t need to make the decision for them in terms of what is more cost-effective, and we’re not…
48 00:06:11.940 ⇒ 00:06:14.999 Pranav Narahari: If they’ve already made the decision for us, then we’re not really…
49 00:06:15.010 ⇒ 00:06:15.940 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.
50 00:06:15.940 ⇒ 00:06:19.290 Pranav Narahari: about, like, okay, do we make the right decision for them, you know?
51 00:06:19.290 ⇒ 00:06:20.319 Samuel Roberts: Right, right, right.
52 00:06:20.520 ⇒ 00:06:21.060 Pranav Narahari: Yeah.
53 00:06:21.340 ⇒ 00:06:26.759 Pranav Narahari: But let’s just make sure that AirByte works. It kind of sets us back a little bit.
54 00:06:26.900 ⇒ 00:06:31.519 Pranav Narahari: Because, you know, we have things working with Polyatomic.
55 00:06:31.520 ⇒ 00:06:32.180 Casie Aviles: Yeah.
56 00:06:32.570 ⇒ 00:06:37.290 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, so… But… That’s fine.
57 00:06:38.310 ⇒ 00:06:38.990 Samuel Roberts: Okay.
58 00:06:39.720 ⇒ 00:06:45.560 Samuel Roberts: So, what is the plan here, then? We have to… figure out…
59 00:06:47.380 ⇒ 00:06:51.039 Samuel Roberts: these things and fold these into a new Gantt chart, basically?
60 00:06:51.590 ⇒ 00:06:57.740 Pranav Narahari: I think this is… yeah, so that’s what I kind of asked Utam in the channel,
61 00:06:57.990 ⇒ 00:07:04.429 Pranav Narahari: he thinks that there’s a step before that where we just, like, sync on the project in general, I think, and then maybe get back to them about, like.
62 00:07:04.870 ⇒ 00:07:07.580 Pranav Narahari: Okay. What we want to do,
63 00:07:08.090 ⇒ 00:07:12.050 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, unfortunately he’s, like, super busy today, it looks like, so I couldn’t get him.
64 00:07:12.050 ⇒ 00:07:14.840 Samuel Roberts: Yeah. No, that’s cool, we can, you know…
65 00:07:15.190 ⇒ 00:07:20.309 Pranav Narahari: So that’s what I’m thinking, maybe, if it’s the same for y’all, we reschedule this call.
66 00:07:20.690 ⇒ 00:07:25.440 Pranav Narahari: So tomorrow, and then we can really, like, get into the nitty-gritty about, like, okay, this is the scope.
67 00:07:25.560 ⇒ 00:07:33.180 Pranav Narahari: Or I’ll basically come and tell y’all, like, okay, looks like Bobby and Zach really want to get these things done, and then we can…
68 00:07:33.180 ⇒ 00:07:33.520 Samuel Roberts: Okay.
69 00:07:33.520 ⇒ 00:07:35.459 Pranav Narahari: Split those up into tickets, and then…
70 00:07:35.620 ⇒ 00:07:39.600 Pranav Narahari: Do whatever else is necessary, like, revised Gantt chart and such.
71 00:07:41.350 ⇒ 00:07:41.980 Samuel Roberts: Okay.
72 00:07:42.270 ⇒ 00:07:46.929 Samuel Roberts: It works for me. Is there anything that needs to happen in between that and now, then, in terms of…
73 00:07:47.240 ⇒ 00:07:47.710 Casie Aviles: Yeah.
74 00:07:47.710 ⇒ 00:07:48.340 Samuel Roberts: anything?
75 00:07:50.470 ⇒ 00:07:58.939 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, I kind of feel like we’re at a little bit of a standstill, besides just, like, regular development work.
76 00:07:59.470 ⇒ 00:08:03.570 Pranav Narahari: I don’t think there’s anything like SL, EP, CSO to do.
77 00:08:04.050 ⇒ 00:08:07.700 Samuel Roberts: Okay, well, I mean, like, what… that’s what I’m saying, like, what development work should be happening right now, then?
78 00:08:07.700 ⇒ 00:08:13.100 Pranav Narahari: Oh, yeah, so I think just what’s in that, like… That bulleted list.
79 00:08:14.530 ⇒ 00:08:15.160 Pranav Narahari: Let me…
80 00:08:15.160 ⇒ 00:08:16.590 Casie Aviles: Oh, Richmonds…
81 00:08:22.190 ⇒ 00:08:23.060 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, so…
82 00:08:23.060 ⇒ 00:08:25.340 Samuel Roberts: Setting up, like, that clock, for instance.
83 00:08:25.560 ⇒ 00:08:26.590 Pranav Narahari: the…
84 00:08:28.600 ⇒ 00:08:38.690 Pranav Narahari: the data warehouse, like, I don’t… that stuff’s all gonna be there. The few things, like, that at the bottom, like, cron jobs for prompts to Slack, that is new.
85 00:08:39.320 ⇒ 00:08:40.169 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, that’s new and proud.
86 00:08:40.179 ⇒ 00:08:50.549 Pranav Narahari: Under prompt library management, that’s also, like, something that they’re adding that we didn’t account for before, and the knowledge bases for all brands. Like, those three things, I don’t want us to work on today until we.
87 00:08:50.550 ⇒ 00:08:51.379 Samuel Roberts: You just, like…
88 00:08:51.570 ⇒ 00:08:53.230 Pranav Narahari: Yeah.
89 00:08:53.750 ⇒ 00:09:07.640 Pranav Narahari: But yeah, for the meta dashboard, I think we got some feedback, like, on Saturday or something on that. The forecasting… or maybe that was for forecasting, I forget. But, yeah, those… these three things, the data warehouse.
90 00:09:08.170 ⇒ 00:09:13.829 Pranav Narahari: Data warehouse, actually, is also a little bit of, like, standstill, because it’s like, okay, we have to see…
91 00:09:15.170 ⇒ 00:09:20.460 Pranav Narahari: is that gonna be connected via AirByte, or via Polytomic? Like, how much is that gonna…
92 00:09:21.540 ⇒ 00:09:24.560 Pranav Narahari: affect, like, the data warehouse stuff, so…
93 00:09:25.410 ⇒ 00:09:29.690 Pranav Narahari: The forecasting and meta-dashboard, yeah, we can get that going today.
94 00:09:29.810 ⇒ 00:09:35.579 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, my local environment has just been causing me so much issues, like, since Friday, for whatever reason, and I’ve just been…
95 00:09:35.920 ⇒ 00:09:44.479 Pranav Narahari: kind of been pulled into, like, various things, so… yeah, I need to… I definitely need to push some code for y’all. I kept on saying I would do that, so I’ll…
96 00:09:44.860 ⇒ 00:09:48.440 Pranav Narahari: I’m gonna push for that in the next couple hours, so…
97 00:09:48.440 ⇒ 00:09:49.050 Samuel Roberts: Okay.
98 00:09:49.390 ⇒ 00:09:55.800 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, but yeah, that’s kind of the direction I have right now. I’m gonna…
99 00:09:55.960 ⇒ 00:10:00.799 Pranav Narahari: like, ping Utum again to see if he can… I don’t know if he saw my latest message, but…
100 00:10:00.800 ⇒ 00:10:01.340 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.
101 00:10:01.340 ⇒ 00:10:06.200 Pranav Narahari: I’ll go ahead and see if we can, meet a little bit earlier, just so, like, I can give y’all a little bit more direction.
102 00:10:06.880 ⇒ 00:10:08.129 Samuel Roberts: Sounds good. Alright.
103 00:10:08.970 ⇒ 00:10:10.440 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, thanks guys.
104 00:10:11.220 ⇒ 00:10:11.910 Samuel Roberts: Alrighty.
105 00:10:12.230 ⇒ 00:10:13.370 Casie Aviles: Okay, thank you.
106 00:10:13.970 ⇒ 00:10:14.589 Pranav Narahari: See ya.
107 00:10:15.080 ⇒ 00:10:15.660 Samuel Roberts: Bye.
